How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewThe location and the grounds were good. It is a very nice property, beautifully designed, lots of greenery and natural beauty. Services were prompt, staffs are nice especially at the dining, people are very friendly and helpful. Dining facility is a very pleasant hall, provides a nice ambiance and nice food.
Cleanliness of our unit was not exactly at par with what expected from such rated property. Our sheets, pillows were stinking like used unwashed ones, the clothes cupboard had a strong odour of sweat, and toilet was just tolerably clean. TV and kettle were non functional. On the up side they attended to it as soon as we pointed out. But it was a plus long wait after initial wait of an hour to get the room. I was unwell and was looking forward to rest, when all these hurdles made it really very annoying. Moreover, this kind of flaw is not expected at the price they take. The property’s claim to a private beach is also exaggerated when the beach in question is just a sea view with rocky grounds and marshy land, prohibiting any access to the sea.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're glad to know you appreciated the natural beauty of the property, the lush greenery, and the warm hospitality of our dining staff. It's heartening to hear that the ambiance and food at the dining area added to your experience. We are, however, genuinely sorry to learn that certain aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. Cleanliness and comfort are top priorities for us, and we regret hearing that you felt let down in this regard. We’d like to respectfully mention that during your stay, none of these concerns were brought to our attention. When you did mention the issue regarding the TV and kettle, our team attended to it promptly and confirmed both were functioning correctly. We always strive to resolve any concerns immediately when they are shared with us. As for the beach access, the coastal terrain in this region does have natural rocky patches and mangroves, and we try to represent this as clearly as possible. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working on setting more accurate expectations. We value your input and will use it constructively to improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to serve you better in the future. Warm regards, SeaShell Management

Verified reviewNice property, very nice bedrooms - clean and comfortable. The food is also good.
Staff weren’t that attentive, I found them unfriendly. There is no bar without sitting inside the restaurant and the restaurant has no character. The live music every night isn’t good and should be stopped. The place needs a separate bar - an entire area is wasted for diving that could be a separate area for a lounge or bar area that’s not the restaurant.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re truly glad to hear that you appreciated the property, especially our clean and comfortable bedrooms, as well as the food offerings. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience with our service and ambiance did not meet expectations. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the lack of attentiveness from the staff. This is not the level of hospitality we strive to provide, and we will be addressing this with our team to ensure better guest interactions moving forward. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding the bar setup and lounge area. Your thoughts are valuable, and we’ll certainly take them into consideration as we look at ways to improve the overall guest experience. Feedback on the live music has also been noted—we aim to create an enjoyable environment for everyone and will review this aspect with care. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future, with an experience that better reflects the high standards we aim to deliver. Warm Regards, Gaurav Shukla | General Manager

Verified reviewI recently stayed at Sea Shell on Neil Island, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The location is absolutely fabulous, offering stunning views and a serene atmosphere that's perfect for relaxation. The resort's private beach is truly a highlight secluded, pristine, and incredibly peaceful, making it ideal for unwinding by the ocean. Another standout feature is the restaurant, which I believe is the best on the island. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit every palate. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance added to the overall charm of the place. If you're planning a trip to Neil Island, I highly recommend staying at Sea Shell. It's the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty.
Honestly, there's nothing to complain about. If you're planning a trip to Neil Island, I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Sea Shell, Niel. It's the perfect mix of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty.

Verified reviewI like the lights that was very warm, i like that the room was very clean as well as all the resort. Very nice people in the reception and all over the place.
I didnt like that for me as a smoker it was very limited. I came for a vacation not to be limited. For me it was very hard. Its not fun to go outside in the middle of the night from your room at the time that you have a balcony but i need to go to the ocean just for smoking. Think about let two or three rooms that literally with balcony to smoke. Its just annoying and two or three rooms with smoke in the balcony wouldn’t kill anyone it is just absurd to me that I payed so much money on a room with a balcony on a second floor but i cant smoke there although i have my privacy
Dear Guest, Thanks for sharing your experience—it really sounds like you had a mix of good and frustrating moments. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the warm lighting, the cleanliness, and the friendly staff throughout the resort. That kind of atmosphere definitely adds a lot to the vacation vibe. But yeah, I totally get your point about the smoking policy. When you're on vacation, especially somewhere relaxing and you've got a private balcony. Hopefully management takes feedback like this into account—it’s those small thoughtful touches that really set a place apart. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon for another better experience! Warm Regards Gaurav Shukla | General Manager
